Calculate μx-bar and σx-bar if μ = 794, σ = 48, and n = 64

μx-bar = 794, σx-bar = 0.75

μx-bar = 12.4, σx-bar = 0.75

μx-bar =794, σx-bar = 6

μx-bar = 99.25, σx-bar = 6

The histograms show the results of three simulations of a sampling distribution of a sample mean. For each simulation, 1,500 samples of size n were selected from the same population and the sample mean was recorded. The value of n was different for each of the three simulations. Which of the following is the correct ordering of the graphs from least value of n to greatest value of n ?

A, C, B

B, A, C

B, C, A

A recent study was conducted to investigate the duration of time required to complete a certain manual dexterity task. The reported mean was 10.2 seconds with a standard deviation of 16.0 seconds. Suppose the reported values are the true mean and standard deviation for the population of subjects in the study. If a random sample of 144 subjects is selected from the population, what is the approximate probability that the mean of the sample will be more than 11.0 seconds?

Based on the values of the true mean and true standard deviation, it can be concluded that the population distribution is not normal and therefore the probability cannot be calculated.

An automobile battery manufacturer claims that its midgrade battery has a mean life of 50 months with a standard deviation of 6 months. Suppose the distribution of battery lived of this particular brand is approximately normal. Find the probability that the mean of a random sample of 36 such batteries will be less than 48 months.
